Shea Weber has been selected as a finalist for the Norris Trophy. He concluded the regular season with 19 goals, which tied him with Ottawa's Erik Karlsson for the most among NHL defensemen, and 10 of them came with the advantage to lead all rearguards. Weber posted 49 points and a plus-21 rating, while averaging just over 26 minutes of ice time per contest. He was also credited with 177 hits and blocking 140 shots, which displays how good is all-around game is and how valuable he is to the Nashville Predators.

Shea Weber might be a defenseman, but he continues to be a leading scorer for Nashville, scoring his second goal of the playoffs as the Predators beat the Detroit Red Wings 3-2 for a 2-1 series lead. Weber scored the first goal of the game. Kevin Klein had a great Sunday as well, collected a tally and an assist. Sergei Kostitsyn scored a 3-1 goal that would eventually be a game-winner because Detroit pulled closer. Sergei's brother Andrei Kostitsyn and Alexander Radulov also collected an assist apiece.

Shea Weber, fined $2,500 for hitting Detroit's Henrik Zetterberg in their playoff opener Wednesday night, scored a goal for Nashville Friday night as the Predators fell 3-2 to the Red Wings. The series is now tied 1-1 as the teams head back to Detroit for Game 3. Andrei Kostitsyn also scored for the Preds. Alexander Radulov and David Legwand assisted on Kostitsyn's goal. Paul Gaustad and Nick Spaling assisted on Weber's goal.

Shea Weber has been fined $2,500 for hitting Detroit forward Henrik Zetterberg's head into the glass during Wednesday's playoff opener. "We felt this was a reckless and reactionary play on which Weber threw a glancing punch and then shoved Zetterberg's head into the glass," said NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan. "We reached out to Detroit following the game and were informed that Zetterberg did not suffer an apparent injury and should be in the lineup for Game 2." Shanahan also commented through a statement that this incident will place whatever Weber does under the microscope for the remainder of the playoffs. The Nashville defender will be in the lineup for Game 2 on Friday night though.

Shea Weber might be suspended after he appeared to smash Henrik Zetterberg's head into the glass. Weber wasn't sure if he'd get punished. "I don't know," he said. "He hit me from behind. So we'll see." Losing Weber for any amount of time would be a big blow to Nashville and would threaten to rob them of the momentum they claimed in their 3-2 victory in Game 1.

Shea Weber potted two goals but the Nashville Predators fell to the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday night 5-4. The stud defenseman has five goals over his last five games. It's been another excellent campaign for Weber, who now has 19 goals and 49 points on the season. Fellow star blueliner Ryan Suter had three assists to give him 46 points. Martin Erat (19th) and Alexander Radulov (third) were the others that found the twine.

Shea Weber scored a goal and added an assist in the Predators' 6-1 win over Chicago Sunday. Weber has now scored 16 goals on the season and has amassed 46 points in total. Andrei Kostitsyn, Matt Halischuk, Mike Fisher and Patric Hornqvist and Francis Bouillon all scored goals in the Nashville victory.

Shea Weber scored two goals as the Nashville Predators slammed the San Jose Sharks on Saturday night 6-2. The stud blueliner's goals give him 14 on the season, and he now has 40 points. He may have trouble reaching his career-high 23 goals, but with 20 games left, he does have a chance of besting his career high in points (53). Other goal scorers included Colin Wilson (14th), Kevin Klein (fourth), Martin Erat (14th) and Nick Spaling (10). Erat and Wilson also notched assists. Jordin Tootoo and Roman Josi each had two helpers.

Shea Weber scored a goal for the Predators in a 3-2 win over Dallas Sunday. Weber's power play marker gave Nashville a 2-1 lead in the dying second of the first period and was his 12th of the season. Colin Wilson and Gabriel Bourque also found the back of the net in the win.

Shea Weber set a personal best with a 106 mph slapshot in the hardest shot category at the NHL All-Star skills competition. The Preds' defenseman came in second to defending champ Zdeno Chara who had shots were clocked at 107 and 108 mph. Weber is always near the top of the leader board in this competition and goalies continue to be fearful when he winds up from the point during games.
